1 68), we read of these bells: "One is known by the name of * Black Tom of Sothill, ' and the tradition is that it was an expiatory gift for a murder. One of the bells is tolled at Christmas Eve, as at a funeral, or in the manner of a passing-bell ; and any one asking whose bell it was, would be told that it was the Devil's knell. The moral of it is that the devil died when Christ was born. The custom was discontinued for some years, but at Christmas, 1828, it was revived by order of the vicar.... " Among further bells may be noticed the "Virgin Chimes ; " the peal rung on Christmas Eve, or Christmas morning, having been so called. The "Judas Bell" was probably used in the Easter Eve ceremonies, in connection with which we find " Judas Candles " mentioned. And there were the "Easter Bells, " which could not be rung before the bells of the cathedral, or mother churches, were sounded.
Once more, the church bell is the appointed voice of public rejoicing, and sound for every festive event. It rings in the new year, the new sovereign, the new mayor, the new squire, and the new rector.
